Abstract:This invention provides a process for the preparation of pyridinamines I [wherein X = CF3, halo, alkyl, or alkoxy; n = 0-4; R = H or acetyl; Y = H, halo, alkoxy, thioalkyl, OH, etc.; Z1-Z3 = independently CF3 or NO2], specifically of fluazinam with formula of II in crystalline polymorphs. For example, 2,4-dichloro-3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride was reacted with 2-amino-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine in Me iso-Bu ketone to give fluazinam with 98% purity (90%). Two crystalline polymorphs and their mixts. of fluazinam were prepared by crystallization from several solvents/antisolvents. The process provides pure product in higher yields. The compound is an useful pesticide (no data).
